Keto Chocolate Ice cream is a sweet and cold recipe with a reduced-carb content. This ice cream has a smooth and powerful flavor in every bite. The meal has an original taste and takes at least four hours and twenty-five minutes to complete without problems. We make this ice cream recipe with different kinds of ingredients, such as heavy cream, almond milk, keto dark chocolate chips, allulose, cocoa powder, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and erythritol. Keto Chocolate Ice cream is suitable for weekends, gatherings, breakfast, the summer season, and as a dessert. These are the components that you can find from general stores, or maybe they are already present in your kitchen. You can prepare it in advance because this ice cream stores well in the freezer for almost thirteen to fourteen days, but don’t place it in the fridge as it melts quickly.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
COCOA POWDER:
- Use non-sweetened cocoa powder, which has a low-carb count. You can utilize dutch-processed cocoa powder, which provides a smooth taste, while using the original cocoa powder will give a strong and sharp flavor.
ALMOND MILK:
- It helps to make a thin foundation while remaining on a keto diet. We can use dairy free cocont milkn instead as a replacement.
KETO DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- They provide the deep taste of chocolate flavor with a reduced carb count. You can break down a free of sugar chocolate bar into little pieces.
HEAVY CREAM:
- It is an important ingredient to give a creamy and silky texture. You can swap it with high-fat coconut cream in place of it, but it will slightly alter the texture.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix the salt, almond milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan and cook it till it gets smoother and warmed.
- Stir the egg yolks with the powder of sweetener in a bowl till they become pale.
- Lightly spread the hot mixture of cocoa in the yolks of the egg, mix it continuously till they adjust properly.
- Again, fill the saucepan with the mixture and cook it on medium heat.
- Whisk the mixture continuously till the texture becomes thicker.
- Avoid boiling.
- Put it away from the flame.
- Mix it in the chopped keto chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla if you are utilizing them.
- Put the mixture into a neat vessel and leave it to fully chill.
- Then keep it in the fridge for four hours.
- Follow the directions in the ice cream maker’s manual to churn the mixture, or freeze it in a small bowl and mix it every half an hour for at least three hours.
- Store in the freezer till it’s hard, but it is easy to scoop.
TIPS:
- Include a small amount of extra salt or a tbsp of cocoa powder to make a dark chocolate flavor.
- Before storing in the freezer to avoid making ice crystals, completely cool the base.

Why is my ice cream so cold?
